U of C People - David Johnston

A University that’s responsive to students
David Johnston is a champion for University of Calgary students.
“We want to offer students a well-rounded education,” says Johnston. “We also want to complement their in-class learning with activities and learning outside of class.”
That’s where the new co-curricular record comes in. It’s the first of its kind in Western Canada and tracks student’s extra-curricular involvement. “Students have embraced the idea,” says Johnston.
Helping students making the connection between university and the life is a top priority. “We prepare students to take their education and enter the work world with a full complement of skills, says Johnston. “We’re always trying to help students be successful after they leave U of C.”
